USBFTV and USB3FTV Ruggedized USB Connectors

Amphenol has made it easy to ruggedize USB connectors with their USBFTV and USB3FTV series harsh environment solutions for USB connectors. This series includes a USB-A interface in USB2.0 (USBFTV) and a USB3.2 Gen 1 (USB3FTV) speeds, as well as a USB-B interface (USBBFTV) in USB2.0 speeds. This connector is based on the Series III MIL-DTL-38999 in size 15 shell. Plugs and receptacles are mated using a Tri-Start threaded coupling mechanism. This mating solution strengthens and protects devices against fluids, dust, shocks, and disconnection due to vibration. This connector can be assembled in the field with no special tooling. Users can choose between two different codings on both the plug and receptacle, and using a dedicated tool, users can remove the insert to change the coding if needed. The USBFTV series also provides improved EMI protection with shielding continuity. The USBFTV and USB3FTV series are IP68 sealed for mated pairs. A variety of materials and platings allow for customer satisfaction based on application. These are tested to MIL-STD equivalents and meet or exceed specifications for a D3899. Compatible USB accessories are also available for this series, including dust caps, rugged USB memory keys, and USB signal extenders (amplifiers).
